TopMon (now with amarok panel)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
TopMon shows (like many other superkaramba themes):
* cpu usage
* mem/swap usage
* network in /out
* disk usage
* optional: amarok cover/title
But TopMon also parses the output of the "top" command so you can see the cpu and memory usage of the most using processes (see screenshots). It also lists the current processes talking to the network.
In order not to spill to much of your precious cpu cycles, the "querying" of top is only done every 15 seconds or another interval if you dare changing the python script (look for tableRefreshDelay).
It is also possible to force a refresh by clicking (or double clicking if you didn't lock position) the graph area. This works also for forcing the amarok cover to update.
Due to double counting of shared memory between several processes the sum of the percentages of memory usage can be bigger than 100%. It's not my fault, it's how top works :)
You probably need to edit the .theme-file for making it fit your partition layout. There's no other way, sorry.

Question: Is it possible to have the CPU sensors ignore the NICE processes? I am running a process at nice 19, which is to say, it barely ever runs, except when I have free CPU power, and that means that my total CPU usage is always 100%. It would be handy to ignore the nice processes and display only the real loads.
Comment: Take a look at Borialis theme. It has a nice feature where each group is seperate and you can choose which group to enable and which to not display. I don't have a need for the Amarok group, so it is just taking up space on my Desktop. Likewise, the harddrive usage group is not useful that often :-)
Great theme outside of that. Keep up the good work

I'm getting > 100% memory for a singe entry (kdeinit). Is that just a problem with top, or can it be fixed?
Thanks.

If you only want the fonts bigger, you can do it yourself: look for "fontsize" in of topmon.theme and topmon.py (for bigger fontsizes you should also lower numberOfLines in topmon.py)
If you want the whole widget bigger, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you: I don't think I will find time to do that. I've spent already more time on topmon than my girlfriend could bear ;). Sorry

I guess that karamba is not really suited for apps refreshing every second.

How long did you let it run (maybe it was just a startup thing)? What happens if you run top on the commandline in non interactive mode like in my karamba theme: "top -b -n1"?

Great Karamba theme, more than eyecandy is hell of util. Small and very informative, something like this was needed. Do you mind if i make new backgrounds and send it to you in order to upload them??

no problem at all for sending me another "skin". (stefaan.lippens (at) gmail com)
I'm also working on a more simple/flat look.
